Calibrating Fence Scale - Grizzly Extreme Series Owner's Manual

3.
Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with-
out moving it. Now slide the fence over to
the board so it barely touches one end of the
board.
4.
Loosen the four cap screws on top of the
fence.
5.
Skew the fence as needed until it is parallel
to the edge of the scrap piece. You may need
to re-adjust the fence locking mechanisms to
gain maximum adjustment.
6.
While maintaining the skew, tighten the cap
screws.
To compensate for lead when making straight
crosscuts with the miter gauge, you will need
to shift the table:
1.
Set the miter gauge to 90°.
2.
On a scrap piece of wood, mark a line that
is perpendicular to the front edge. Starting
where the line begins, cut the board by push-
ing it through the blade with the miter gauge.
The miter gauge should be checked for
square before beginning this procedure.
3. Loosen the table mounting bolts, and shift the
table to compensate for the blade lead.
4. Repeat Steps 1 & 2 until the blade cuts
straight when wood is pushed through with
the miter gauge.
If the table is shifted, the fence will be affect-
ed since it is attached.
Lead adjustments will change when new
blades are mounted on the saw.

Calibrating Fence
Scale
You may need to recalibrate the fence scale after
changing or adjusting the blade, or if the scale
is not producing accurate cuts. Recalibrate the
fence scale by adjusting the hairline indicator on
the fence and testing your adjustment by cutting a
piece of scrap wood.
Items Needed
Phillips Screwdriver #1 ...................................... 1
To calibrate scale:
1.
Set fence anywhere along scale and locate a
piece of scrap wood with at least one straight
edge.
Note: Joint the edge with a jointer if needed
to make the edge straight.
2. Hold straight edge of workpiece firmly against
fence, and feed workpiece through saw blade
with a push stick.
3. Measure the width of cut workpiece. The
width of workpiece should match reading on
fence scale.
4.
If reading on scale is not the same as width
of cut workpiece, loosen two screws on mag-
nifying window (see Figure 58) and adjust it
to match width of the cut workpiece.

Re-tighten screws—scale is now correctly
calibrated.
